We have hitherto withheld comment

promised full report Of the proceedings,

are in accordance with the following
from the Silver State of yesterday, the
article is reproduced in full:
Sometime since the Board of Com
missioners for the Insane investigated
damaging charges against the manage
ment of the Asylum. made and sworn
to be reputable and responsible citi-
zen of Reno. A partial, and doubtless
somewhat garbled report of the evidence
submitted in support of the charges
was published in some of the papers,
and it was stated, upon the authority
OF the Commissioners, that full report
Of the investigation would be printed at
the State Printing Office tor general
circulation. Subsequently what pur-
ported to DO synopsis of the findings
OF the Commissioners appeared in tho
Carson papers. in which it was stated
that the Commissioners would not in
vestignte any charges against the Asy-
lum management emanaring from DR..
A. Dawson, of Reno. Az il would be
impossible to determine. without investG
igation, the source from which any
charge emanated, this declaration Of the
Commissioners, was in effect, notice
to the public that it mattered not what
charges were preferred against the Asy-
lum management, there would be no
further investigations by the present
Board Of Commissioners. The Silver

case there will be much dissatisfaction,

THE TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE.

The Linn County Temperance Ali
ancc which convened at Scio on Tues
day last was composed ofearnest and
enthusiastic men and women who have
a. heart the great work of reform The
expression of the delegates which rep
resented a large portion of the county
had no uncertain sound. The work is
going gloriously en-, and the sentiment
in favor Of prohibition Is growing
stronger and stronger in the minds of
the people. The mastery and un-
aaswerable arguments OF such men as
DIR. s. G. Irvine who addressed the ALI
ance on Tuesday evening last--and the
influence of good men and wemen all
over this county and state, Is having n
most agreeable effect, and will undoubt-
edly result in grand victory against
the rum power in November next. In
short, the meeting at Scio was good
one, and the generosity with which the
good people of that beautiful old town
''in the Forks, threw open their doors
TO the entertainment of all who attend
I'd in the interest of iae work which
called them there, will make the occa-
sion one to be remembered with pleas-
ure, as well as one frnught with the
best results.

GOV. MARTIN In las7.

/ stated in my message Q year aec,
that while the law Of 1855 embodied
some defects, its general results had
been very favorable.
A great reform has certainly been ac-
complished in Kansas. Intemperance
is steadily and surely decreasing. In
thousands of homes where want and
wretchedness and suffering were once
familiar guests, plenty, happiness and
contentnent now abide. Thousands
of wives and children are better clothed
and fed than they were when the sa-
loon absorbed all The earnings of hus-
bands and fathers. The marvellous ma
terial growth of the state during the
past six years, has been accompanied
by an equally marvellous moral progress
and il can be fairly and faithfully as
serted that in no portion of the civilized
world can million and half of peo-
pie be found who are more temperate
than the people Of Kansas.
There's not town, city or neighbor-
hood in the state in which an illegal
traffic in liquors can be carried on for
a single week ii the local officers dis
charge the duties plainly enjoined upon
them by law with zeal and fidelity.
Provide the necessary laws to compel
local officers to discharge their sworn
duties, and remove them when they
they refuse or neglect To do so, and
there will be no need To make any other
changes in our statutes. Cii the other
hand, no matter what amendments
are made not what provisions are added
To the present laws, bat they will be
Intellectual so long as the municipal
authorities of cities or counties can
nuilify or disregard them without fear
OF removal or punishment.
The public sentiment of Kansas il
overwhelmingl against the liquor traf-
fic. Thousands Of men, who few
years ago opposed prohibition, or doubt
cd whether 1t was the best method of
dealing with the liquor traffic, have
seen and frankly acknowledge its bene-
fcient-results ana its practical success.
The temptations with which the open
saloons lured the youth OF the land to
disgrace and destruction; the appetite
for liquor bred within its walls by the
treating custom; the vice, crime, pow
erty. suffering and sorrow of which IL
Is always the fruitful source; all these
evil results of the open saloon have
been abolished in nearly every city and
town in Kansas.

S5l 900, zoo. The value of silver in the
above estimate is calculated at the com
ing rate of silver in the United States

The production of gold shows an in
crease over prior year of 81 100000. The
production of silver Is slightly less than
in 1855. 4 tabular statement shows
that the production of silver in the
United States has largely increased from
1850 when IL was s39, ,200, 600, to S5l, ,o00,-
coo in 1886.
Colorado continues In the first rank

tails in the United States, the value ct

California yields the second place TO
Montana, with production OF nearly
Sl7,G00,O 200 against Sl6.0O0,00O by the
former. The production nf Nevada
aud New Mexico has decreased, while
that of other states has remained al
most constant. Texas, for the first
time, is added TO the lists cf producing
states with u production of S200,000 in
silver the annual supply of silver from
the mines of the world has largely in
creased i'm the last four years, a period
covered by a marked decline in the
market price of silver.

INDEMNITY LANDS.
Unsolicited Sections to be Restored to the
Public Domain.

WASHINGTON, May 2o.-The secre-
tary Of the interior to-day addressed
communication to the president, set
ting forth that large number Of land
grant railroad companies have made
indemnity selections TO the full extent
of their rights under the respective
grants, and that number of others,
while they have not selected the full
quantity, have selected all the lands
within the indemnity limits of such
grants which are subject to such select
ions; that under the rulings of this de-
partment no settler can acquire any
rights under any Of the general land
laws to any part of the public domain,
SO long as the same remains withdrawn
by order of the president, or by his au
thority, and that there seems now to
Se no valid reason why these orders of
withdrawal should not be revoked.
The communication continues: RE
strictions to the bona fide settlement of
the public domain should be removed
as speedily as possible after the reasons
which created them have ceased to eX-
ist. Believing that these railroad COM
panies have had ample time to assert
any rights they may have in regard to
Indemnity to which they may be en-
titled, and that no unnecessary hard
ships can now result to them by restor-
ing these lands to the public domain
for the benefit of settlers, it is my pur-
pose, if it meets your approval, to take
all necessary steps looking to the ac-
complishment of this object. suggest
in order to prevent action being taken
which may result in hardships in any
case, that thirty days notice be given,
by publication in some leading news
paper in the locality of these respective
roads, notifying their managers of the
purpose of this department, in order
that they may show cause, if they can,
by certain day to be fixed in such
notice, why the proposition therein
submitted should not be carried into
effect"
The president endorsed his approval
upon the communication, and the sec
retary will Immediately take steps to
carry into effect the policy indicated.
Among the railroads named are the
Illinois Central, in the state OF Illinois;
Cedar Rapids & Missouri River, and
Dubuque & Sioux City in the state OF
Iowa; the Sioux City & st. PaHl, in the
state Of Iowa; Northern Pacific, in Da-
kota territory; Northern Pacific, main
line, in Washington territory; Coos

gon; Burlington q Missouri River, Chi
